Policies and Guidelines

Research notes are not full academic papers but are discussion notes, seeking to advance a new idea, theoretical perspective, research program, or methodological approach in organization studies. As opposed to full research papers, research notes may follow a less strict paper outline but still needs to make a valuable contribution to the study of organization. That is, polemical clarity and rhetoric are important qualities of a readable and intriguing research note. When writing a research note, it is important that the author(s) are clear on what kind of contribution they want to make to the field of organization studies, that they are capable of advancing an intelligible and solid argument in favour of a particular theory, study, or methodology, and that they bring in a novel view to the attention of the journal’s readers. The role of the research note is thus not so much to further justify or support predominant theoretical perspectives but to serve as a form of incubator or laboratory for new thinking in the field of organization studies.
